Its all about the infamous cold war between director Abhinav Kashyap and Salman Khan.

They teamed up for Dabangg and rocked the box office but after that Abhinav Kashyap and Salman Khan parted ways. Kashyap walked out of Dabangg and Arbaaz Khan took over the film’s direction.Abhinav Kashyap talks about the contrasting personalities of Salman and Ranbir, and his rumoured relationship with Pallavi.

when asked about difference in working with Salman and Ranbir, Abhinav said, “Salman never rehearses and often forgets his lines. He is very spontaneous, though. A lot of times, even the director is in the dark – we don’t know what he’d say in a particular scene until he goes ahead and says it.”While about Ranbir, Abhinav was all praises: “Ranbir is the most hardworking actor I have seen. He rehearses meticulously, sometimes days in advance.”

Hansika Motwani, who is currently very busy acting in South Indian Languages such as Tamil and Telugu, has apparently been approached to contest in the very popular reality show Bigg Boss. Though many believe the actress is too busy and too occupied to contest, it is a known fact that Bigg Boss would give name and fame along with the possibility to enter Bollywood.Along with Hansika Motwani there is another new name that is making buzz. The Punjabi actress Sheetal Rathore apparently has been approached by Bigg Boss with a pay of Rs 1 crore.

Sheetal Rathore has featured in several Punjabi movies and has also featured in Reality Shows in the south. She was also seen on Channel V’s show Get Gorgeous and on another dating show on UTV Bindaas as well as on Emotional Attyachar. While Sheetal refused to furnish any further details, sources said that she has been offered the whooping amount to “fall in love on the reality show and get married to one of the male participants”. We do not know if Sheetal Rathore aka Ms Rowdy Rathore’s marriage will materialise on Bigg Boss 7.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is known to be very Dabangg in real life, hinted at a reality show that it was because of director Karan Johar‘s close proximity to Shah Rukh Khan that the two could never work again.Salman Khan had done a guest appearance for Karan Johar’s directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead.Salman Khan, who came to promote his upcoming reality show Bigg Boss 7 on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, was asked to make a confession by hosts Manish Paul and Kapil Sharma.

Salman Khan was all praises for director and friend Karan Johar even as he added that earlier Karan Johar ‘avoided‘ making films with him due to ‘someone’s influence’.However, Karan Johar is now keen to work with Salman Khan. But the actor said he is now busy with his new projects – Sohail Khan‘s Mental, Sajid Nadiawala‘s Kick and then Sooraj Barjatia’s untitled film.When pushed by Manish Paul to reveal who influenced the director, Karan slyly avoided the topic saying, “Moving on…’, leaving little to imagination.

“It’s too early right now as we are still working on the song track. We have not approached Katrina, but Salman has been involved with the project right from the beginning,” Agnihotri.

“It’s too early right now as we are still working on the song track. We have not approached Katrina, but Salman has been involved with the project right from the beginning,” Atul Agnihotri, who is married to Salman’s sister Alvira, told “If I can’t justify somebody’s participation, I will not cast them. Katrina has always been with us she is our well-wisher and a wonderful person, so let’s see how thing shapes up,”.

Filmmaker Atul Agnihotri, who introduced the project, titled Oh Teri, was rumored to have Salman Khan as protagonist and Katrina Kaif as his partner. However, the director cleared the buzz saying he has even not approached Kat for the venture.

Irked by the trailer of Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Besharam, the fans of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have demanded a ban on the film as Ranbir is shown making fun of these stars.

The promo was launched on July 30 and since then the trailer on YouTube has got more than 6000 dislikes. Salman Khan’s fans did not like the dialogue in which he says, “Sirf Chulbul naam rakhne se koi Dabangg nahi ban jaata“. The trailer shows Ranbir Kapoor urinating in the mustard fields while humming Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana – Shah Rukh Khan‘s hit number from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge – which has irked SRK fans.

Not just the fans but whole Bollywood is praying Salman Khan does not have to serve jail term. Veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who is known to be Salman’s one of best buddies, also hopes that Salman Khan never serves in prison.

However, one man hopes nothing like that happens. He is none other than Anil Kapoor and sharing his thoughts, Anil reportedly mentioned that though he cannot interfere with the matter of law he wants Salman to be safe.

For the unaware, Salman has been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the 2002 hit-and-run case. In case if he found convicted of culpable homicide, the 47-year-old star can face up to 10 years in jail.

He reportedly added that his heart says nothing will happen. Both Salman and Anil had teamed up for films like Deewana Mastana, Biwi No 1, No Entry and others.

Superstar Salman Khan will do a cameo in filmmaker and brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri`s next home production.After the success of his home production Bodyguard featuring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor, Atul is all set with his next flick, titled O Teri.”He (Salman) is there in the film. He is doing a cameo. He has a song and few scenes to do,” Atul said, without divulging any further details.

Atul`s directorial debut `Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha` (2004) had Salman, Preity Zinta and Bhoomika Chawla in the lead. He then produced `Hello` (2008), which also had Salman but in a cameo appearance.”He is a part of my life. He is supportive. We share a good relation,” Atul said.

`O Teri` features Pulkit Samrat and Sarah Jane Dias in lead roles and is likely to release this year itself.Directed by debutant Umesh Bhisht, the film is almost complete with a little work pending.

Aditya Panscholi’s son Sooraj will make his debut with Suniel Shetty’s daughter in the remake of Subhash Ghai’s Hero.Salman khan is truly a god-father for many new entrants.According to recent report published by a leading publication the two kids will make their debut in the official remake of Jackie Shroff’s 1983 blockbuster, Hero. Director Subhash Ghai has sold the remake rights to Salman Khan and the development marks an end to the speculation over 18-year-old Athiya’s launch vehicle.

In the never-ending turf war between kids from film families and rank outsiders, there are fresh reinforcements for the former every day. Joining the ranks of Alia Bhatts and Arjun Kapoors of the industry are two new faces Sooraj-Aditya Panscholi and Athiya-Suniel Shetty.

While it is not clear who will direct the project, TOI has learnt that Ghai, who has an ear for music, has been requested to score for the film. If that works out, it will be a milestone in the filmmaker’s long and eventful career.The publication quoted a source as saying, “Salman has requested Subhashji to help with the music. He has always been a fan of his musical hits Karz, Karma and Khalnayak.”

Sanjay Dutt, 53, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case and sentenced to five-year rigorous imprisonment for possessing an automatic rifle, will surrender today before the Special TADA court. As Sanjay Dutt prepares to go to jail, several Bollywood personalities including Salman Khan met him at his residence in suburban Bandra.Dutt’s conviction under the Arms Act for possessing an AK-56 rifle was upheld by the Supreme Court in March this year but his sentence was reduced to five years from the earlier six years.

He has to serve three and half years as he has already sent some time in the jail in this case earlier.

Bollywood denizens, including actors Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, directors David Dhawan and Sanjay Gupta, actor Shilpa Shetty‘s husband Raj Kundra (with whom Dutt started Super Fight League) and director Apoorva Lakhia (with whom Dutt worked in `Zanjeer’ remake) visited him today at his Pali Hill house.

Salman Khan admits that while shooting for an inner wear ad, he was reminded of his film ‘Karan Arjun’.Directed by Rakesh Roshan, 1995 release ‘Karan Arjun’ featured Salman and Shah Rukh Khan together, who were among the top actors of that time. Also starring Raakhee as their mother, the film featured Kajol and Mamta Kulkarni as the female leads.

One of the scenes of blockbuster ‘Karan Arjun’ where Durga, played by Raakhee, says her sons (Karan and Arjun) will come back, was shot in the Mehboob Studio, the same place where Salman has shot for the inner wear ad.”It (shooting for the ad) reminded me of `Karan Arjun`.

I was shooting for `Karan Arjun` in Mehboob Studio and there was also the same ambience during my introduction scene in the film. It was the same (ambience for ad film) and I was reminded of the scene, `Mere bete aayenge, Karan-Arjun aayenge, dharti ka seena phaadkar aayenge` and then I enter the boxing ring,” said Salman.He added: “Arbaaz has the worst body among all of us (Salman, Sohail and Arbaaz) and Sohail is the fittest now.”

Producer-director Sohail Khan and actor Salman Khan‘s forthcoming film Mental seems to have hit a hurdle, as the movie already has incured a loss of Rs.25 crore due to a tiff between stuntmen from Mumbai and those from the South. Salman Khan has lost around 12 days of shooting for his film Mental.

Producer-director Sohail Khan has hired a leading South Indian fight master for the film.As per the All India Film Employees Confederation (AIFEC), 70% of the fighters have to be local (in this case, from the Hindi film industry) and 30% from the region of the fight master. But fighters from the South refused to shoot, demanding 50% of their men be hired for the action scenes.A leading tabloid quoted a source as saying, “The unit had to return within a week even though it was a 15-day schedule in Kolhapur because the fighters refused to shoot. There was another schedule in Lavasa, which was a continuity sequence from a Dubai shoot, that needed the same fighters. There too, the Film Employees’ Federation of South India (FEFSI) refused to send their stuntmen.”

Dharmesh Tiwari, President of AIFEC, said, “The FEFSI is not ready to follow the rule passed in March 2013, and they are forcing the producer to take 50% of their fighters.”It is learnt that producers and AIFEC are now contemplating on boycotting South Indian fighters.
This disturbing turn of events has forced several filmmakers to replace South Indian action directors with local ones.

Salman Khan’s upcoming film Mental,Salman Khan’s upcoming film seems to have hit a hurdle while shooting a crucial fight scene in Lavasa. Apparently, the shoot which was for an action sequence came to a halt post tensions between action artistes from Mumbai and Hyderabad rose over allegations that the production team is biased towards Bollywood performers.

The dispute started when 30 fighters from Hyderabad and Chennai who were called in for an action sequence realised that they were inadequately represented in comparison to their Mumbai peers. While demographically there were only three Southern fighters for every seven from Bollywood, they further found out that they were being paid almost 50 per cent less than their counterparts.

Following these findings, the artists registered a formal complaint with the FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) officials in Mumbai, but only to be told that their argument held no water. However, officials from the FWICE rejected their plea which resulted in the artists stalling the shoot.Last heard two senior officials – Shiva and Vijayan – from the Film Employee’s Federation of South India, are in Mumbai to end the impasse.
